libbpf: Do not close un-owned FD 0 on errors

2021-08-06T23:39:15+00:00

Before this patch, btf_new() was liable to close an arbitrary FD 0 if
BTF parsing failed. This was because:

* btf->fd was initialized to 0 through the calloc()
* btf__free() (in the `done` label) closed any FDs >= 0
* btf->fd is left at 0 if parsing fails

This issue was discovered on a system using libbpf v0.3 (without
BTF_KIND_FLOAT support) but with a kernel that had BTF_KIND_FLOAT types
in BTF. Thus, parsing fails.

While this patch technically doesn't fix any issues b/c upstream libbpf
has BTF_KIND_FLOAT support, it'll help prevent issues in the future if
more BTF types are added. It also allow the fix to be backported to
older libbpf's.

libbpf: Streamline error reporting for high-level APIs

2021-05-26T00:32:35+00:00

Implement changes to error reporting for high-level libbpf APIs to make them
less surprising and less error-prone to users:
  - in all the cases when error happens, errno is set to an appropriate error
    value;
  - in libbpf 1.0 mode, all pointer-returning APIs return NULL on error and
    error code is communicated through errno; this applies both to APIs that
    already returned NULL before (so now they communicate more detailed error
    codes), as well as for many APIs that used ERR_PTR() macro and encoded
    error numbers as fake pointers.
  - in legacy (default) mode, those APIs that were returning ERR_PTR(err),
    continue doing so, but still set errno.

With these changes, errno can be always used to extract actual error,
regardless of legacy or libbpf 1.0 modes. This is utilized internally in
libbpf in places where libbpf uses it's own high-level APIs.
libbpf_get_error() is adapted to handle both cases completely transparently to
end-users (and is used by libbpf consistently as well).

More context, justification, and discussion can be found in "Libbpf: the road
to v1.0" document ([0]).

libbpf: Mark BPF subprogs with hidden visibility as static for BPF verifier

2021-04-23T21:05:26+00:00

Define __hidden helper macro in bpf_helpers.h, which is a short-hand for
__attribute__((visibility("hidden"))). Add libbpf support to mark BPF
subprograms marked with __hidden as static in BTF information to enforce BPF
verifier's static function validation algorithm, which takes more information
(caller's context) into account during a subprogram validation.

libbpf: Add generic BTF type shallow copy API

2021-03-18T23:14:22+00:00

Add btf__add_type() API that performs shallow copy of a given BTF type from
the source BTF into the destination BTF. All the information and type IDs are
preserved, but all the strings encountered are added into the destination BTF
and corresponding offsets are rewritten. BTF type IDs are assumed to be
correct or such that will be (somehow) modified afterwards.

libbpf: Extract internal set-of-strings datastructure APIs

2021-03-18T23:14:22+00:00

Extract BTF logic for maintaining a set of strings data structure, used for
BTF strings section construction in writable mode, into separate re-usable
API. This data structure is going to be used by bpf_linker to maintains ELF
STRTAB section, which has the same layout as BTF strings section.

libbpf: Generalize BTF and BTF.ext type ID and strings iteration

2021-03-18T23:14:22+00:00

Extract and generalize the logic to iterate BTF type ID and string offset
fields within BTF types and .BTF.ext data. Expose this internally in libbpf
for re-use by bpf_linker.

Additionally, complete strings deduplication handling for BTF.ext (e.g., CO-RE
access strings), which was previously missing. There previously was no
case of deduplicating .BTF.ext data, but bpf_linker is going to use it.

libbpf: Add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support

2021-03-05T01:58:15+00:00

The logic follows that of BTF_KIND_INT most of the time. Sanitization
replaces BTF_KIND_FLOATs with equally-sized empty BTF_KIND_STRUCTs on
older kernels, for example, the following:

    [4] FLOAT 'float' size=4

becomes the following:

    [4] STRUCT '(anon)' size=4 vlen=0

With dwarves patch [1] and this patch, the older kernels, which were
failing with the floating-point-related errors, will now start working
correctly.
